Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2592: Chapter 2571: You Have a Solution?

Chapter 2571: You’ll think of a way?

"What’s going on?"

As soon as Lin Feng walked into the Holy Pill Pavilion, he was immediately surrounded by Gu Tianhai and the others. Before they could say anything, he was the first to speak. Right now he just wanted to figure out what exactly had happened in Ling City, and why they were being attacked by Demon Beasts.

The others didn’t say anything. Gu Tianhai stepped out at this moment and explained to Lin Feng, "Three months ago, for some unknown reason, the Demon Beasts around us suddenly went berserk, as if stimulated by something, and started attacking the city. It hasn’t stopped even now. No one knows if we can hold on any longer..."

Gu Tianhai’s voice was incomparably heavy, because this was the reality before them. If they couldn’t hold out, once the city fell, probably everyone in Ling City would die. But under the current circumstances there was no other way! Still, deep down he felt it was very strange. With the city under siege by beasts, how had Lin Feng managed to come back?

"What about the city-level Defensive Array?" Lin Feng’s brows knit as soon as he heard this. He looked at Gu Tianhai and asked.

"We already activated it a month ago, but the intensity of the beasts’ attacks was just too great. The city’s Defensive Array only held out for a little over twenty days before it couldn’t support anymore. It’s already been seven days since the Defensive Array collapsed. Right now the situation inside the city is extremely bad. Almost all the Divine King powerhouses are desperately fighting the Demon Beasts appearing in the sky."

Hearing Lin Feng ask that, Gu Tianhai immediately added from the side.

"Collapsed for seven days already?" Lin Feng frowned immediately upon hearing this and asked Gu Tianhai, "The city’s already like this, hasn’t Lingxiao Sect sent anyone to help?"

"No one knows what’s going on over there, but according to the information from the City Lord Mansion, Lingxiao Sect is also under threat. Countless high-level Demon Beasts seem intent on wiping out Lingxiao Sect, so these days they simply can’t spare any forces to reinforce Ling City." Gu Tianhai hurriedly answered again.

"Boss, the scale of this city assault is really too big!"

"You have no idea how scared we’ve been these days!"

"Right now, everyone at the Opening Epoch Realm in Ling City has already gone up on the walls to fight for their lives!"

...

The shop assistants all started talking at this time as well. They were extremely worried now. If this situation continued, it probably wouldn’t be long before Ling City fell, and when that happened there would definitely be a massacre of all living beings.

Only after hearing all of this did Lin Feng realize that this matter had far exceeded his expectations. If the city was forced to fall, then the Holy Pill Pavilion he had painstakingly built would also disappear with it. Thinking of this, he didn’t have time to say anything more to Gu Tianhai and the others and hurriedly ran out.

His destination was the City Lord Mansion. He had to understand the relevant details before he could decide how to help the City Lord defend the city. Time was pressing; he could only cast aside distractions and hurry straight to the City Lord Mansion as fast as possible.

When he arrived at the City Lord Mansion, he discovered something: there were almost no guards left in the mansion. Only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youngster was standing at the door of the City Lord’s study, helping the City Lord guard the entrance. Everyone else had already gone to defend the city.

When he came to the door, before Lin Feng could speak, the door of the study opened. The City Lord of Ling City rushed out from inside, and when he saw Lin Feng, a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

"You finally came back. Hurry and help me think of a way!" The City Lord didn’t wait for Lin Feng to speak. He directly dragged Lin Feng into the study and over to an enormous table. On the table was a sand table simulation, which made it very intuitive to see the current situation of the city.

As soon as Lin Feng saw the specific situation on the sand table, his brows furrowed deeply. He hadn’t expected things to have gotten this bad. If this really continued for a few more days and the human powerhouses in Ling City exhausted themselves, then by that time Ling City really would be breached!

"How did it get this bad? Have you figured out the reason for the Demon Beasts’ assault?" Lin Feng asked the City Lord, posing his first question.

"There’s simply no way to find out. The Demon Beasts that charged in don’t speak at all, and it’s impossible to investigate. I sent four small teams out, but before they got far from Ling City, they were overwhelmed by Demon Beasts. So after fighting all this time, none of us has figured out why the Demon Beasts suddenly went mad!" The City Lord looked at Lin Feng and said with great shame. In the current situation, everything really was too bad. The city could be broken at any moment. He was truly concerned and worried.

"This is a subsidiary city of Lingxiao Sect. Has Lingxiao Sect really not sent anyone?" Lin Feng raised his second question at this time.

"You don’t know. The situation on the Sect’s side is even more exaggerated than here. The Demon Beasts we’re encountering here have very few at the Demon King Tier, but over at Lingxiao Sect, there are many above the Demon King Tier. If it weren’t for the Sect’s extremely strong strength, they probably would have already been razed to the ground by the Demon Beasts!" The City Lord looked at Lin Feng and said bluntly, "I’ve also requested instructions from Lingxiao Sect, but the Sect said they simply can’t support us here. So everything can only depend on ourselves—either we hold out, or we all die!"

Only after hearing the City Lord did Lin Feng realize how serious the situation here was. It was far more difficult than he’d imagined. This kind of thing had erupted without any warning; no one was prepared. But suddenly he thought of a question and immediately asked the City Lord, "Right, do you know about other cities? Have any other cities encountered the same problem?"

"I checked with the auction house. The other cities don’t have any issues. Only Ling City is like this. To resist this Demon Beast assault, I’ve already used all the Yuan Stones in Ling City to buy Elixirs and weapons through the auction house. But judging from the current rate of consumption, I estimate that in less than two days, Ling City will fall and everyone will die. I’ve really done everything I can."

At this point, the City Lord turned his gaze to Lin Feng and asked, "All the Prominent Families have already emptied their coffers. Can your Holy Pill Pavilion provide some support?"

After he finished, the City Lord’s eyes flickered with light. He was completely out of options now. The Holy Pill Pavilion only listened to Lin Feng’s orders. He had sent people before to requisition supplies for the war, but the Holy Pill Pavilion ignored everyone. If he hadn’t stopped them, those people in the city would probably have smashed the Holy Pill Pavilion already. Fortunately, Lin Feng had now appeared, so he wanted Lin Feng to bring out some Yuan Stones and Elixirs. Even if it only propped them up for one more day, it would be worth it.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment after hearing this, then said to the City Lord, "Even if I bring out Elixirs and Yuan Stones, it would only be a drop in the bucket. How about this—since I’m back now, I’ll be the one to think of a way to resolve this Demon Beast assault."

"You’ll think of a way?"

The City Lord stared at Lin Feng in astonishment when he heard this, not understanding what Lin Feng meant. The Demon Beasts’ assault had already reached this stage; Lin Feng saying he’d think of a way—what way could there be? It wasn’t just that he couldn’t believe it; no one would be able to.

"If I say it, I’ll do it."

Seeing the City Lord so doubtful, Lin Feng smiled faintly, then turned around and left, leaving the City Lord alone in the study, dumbfounded.

After leaving the City Lord Mansion, Lin Feng went straight to the auction house. As expected, he ran into Elder Zhao there. He immediately started discussing the Demon Beast assault with Elder Zhao, because up until now he’d only heard the City Lord’s side of the story and needed to understand the truth.

What surprised Lin Feng was that the situation he learned from Elder Zhao was the same as what the City Lord had described. Elder Zhao was also very troubled at this time, because the auction house had a lot of assets piled up in its warehouses. Once the city fell, the loss to the auction house would be immeasurable.

After learning the true situation, Lin Feng’s brows furrowed immediately. He now understood just how bad things were. It was even worse than he’d thought. If this Demon Beast assault crisis wasn’t resolved, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After bidding farewell to Elder Zhao, Lin Feng returned to the City Lord’s side again. Before the City Lord could speak, he took the initiative and asked, "Can the City Protection Array be reactivated? I need time to resolve the city’s crisis!"

"It can be activated, but there’s no Crystal Stone left to power the City Protection Array. I’ve already been to the auction house, but they can’t think of a solution in the short term..." Of course the City Lord also wanted to restore the City Protection Array, but the situation was just that bad. There was nothing he could do.

"Hurry, take me to see it." Lin Feng immediately said to the City Lord.

The City Lord understood what Lin Feng meant and immediately took him into the most central area of the City Lord Mansion. It was a great hall built in an underground chamber. Inside the hall were dozens of sockets, but the Crystal Stones in those sockets had all turned ashen-white like chalk. The energy inside them had been completely exhausted.

Lin Feng glanced at those sockets and carefully examined the depleted Crystal Stones. He found that these Crystal Stones were somewhat similar to Thunder Crystal Stone, so he immediately took out a Thunder Crystal Stone and asked the City Lord, "Were the Crystal Stones in these sockets like this?"

The City Lord was stunned at this moment. Looking at the Thunder Crystal Stone in his hand, he grew excited and quickly said to Lin Feng, "The Crystal Stones here aren’t Thunder Crystal Stones, they’re Wood Crystal Stones. But I think Thunder Crystal Stones can definitely activate the array. How many do you have? Is it enough?"

Hearing that Thunder Crystal Stones would work, Lin Feng didn’t say a word. His figure blurred and he disappeared from where he stood. In an instant, each of the dozens of sockets in the hall had a new Thunder Crystal Stone placed in it. Although his heart ached, compared to everyone in this city, he would rather give up these Thunder Crystal Stones than let the people of Ling City die.

My god, where did he get these from!

The City Lord was completely dumbfounded when he saw these dozens of Thunder Crystal Stones. One had to know that this type of attribute Crystal Stone was extremely hard to come by and worth a king’s ransom. Their quantity was pitifully small; only large Sects could afford to collect them, and even then it took years to obtain a single piece. Yet Lin Feng had taken out dozens at once. How could he not be shocked!

But Lin Feng had no time for such thoughts now. Seeing the City Lord still completely stunned, he immediately said to him, "What are you dazing out for? Hurry up and activate the City Protection Array!"

"Alright!"

The City Lord snapped back to his senses and immediately followed Lin Feng’s words to operate the City Protection Array and activate it...
